Renault has started a public trial of its on-demand car service using autonomous, electric and shared Zoe cabs on the Paris-Saclay urban campus.
From 14 October to 8 November, 2019, a panel of around 100 people will use the on-demand car service provided by two electric, autonomous and shared Renault Zoe cab prototypes on the campus.

The objective is to test the technical aspects of the on-demand mobility service and to evaluate its acceptability and adoption by end-users for their daily journeys.
This experiment and the feedback from the panel will enable Renault to identify any necessary adaptations to be made to the service, the mobile application and the vehicles.
Inaugurated on 15 May this year, the ‘Paris-Saclay Autonomous Lab’ aims to evaluate a transportation system comprising autonomous vehicles, a supervision system, connected infrastructure and customer application to define the conditions for the deployment of an autonomous mobility service on a larger scale.
The daytime service, using electric, autonomous and shared Renault Zoe Cab prototypes, will allow people to move around the Paris-Saclay urban campus.
The service will run Monday to Friday, from 11:00 to 18:00.
